He is brought to a hidden space station and put in charge of the project but there are many questions.

Awesome story
This is another 'big brother' type of story where people sacrifice creativity for safety. The story is predictable to an extent, but listen for the neat plot twist at the end, it is a mouth dropper! :-)
Reader is always excellent. Thanks Gregg!

Eerily Predictive for 1953!
I liked this somewhat dystopic short story, but it kinda creeps me out when books written in 1953 predict that the first amendment will be subverted, habeas corpus and all rights forfeitted, and torture permitted if you are even suspected of "treason". It also predicts some very near real technology, super capacitors!
This work of fiction is frighteningly close to the reality, only instead of "treason" its "terrorism" and the situation is getting worse.
Just remember,
"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -Benjamin Franklin
By the way-Gregg Margarite and Mark Nelson both occupy the #1 reader position in my book!
